Answer:
1. The star's mass is 1.3 x 10^32 kg.
2. The star's mass is 1.3 x 10^32 kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
Divide numbers written in scientific notation by dividing the coefficients and then subtracting the exponents.
let The sun's mass is 2.0×10^30 kg.
and the coefficient = 1.5x10^-2
divide the coefficients
2.0 ÷ 1.5 = 1.3
Then subtract the exponents.
= 10^30 - 10^-2
= 30 - (-2)
= 32
Combine the results of the two operations
= 1.3 and x 10^32
= 1.3 x 10^32
therefore,
The star's mass is 1.3 x 10^32 kg
===============================
2.
given:
The sun's mass is 2.0×10^30 kg.
mass of a star = sun's mass divided by 1.5×10^-2 kg
find:
Express the answer in Scientific notation.
mass of a star = 2.0×10^30 kg
1.5×10^-2 kg
mass of a star = 1.3 X 10^32 kg
therefore,
The star's mass is 1.3 x 10^32 kg
===============================
